intorcliteJ lu knowing that that superb
equipment Is now being used Intact for com
mercial purposes. It had been retlned for
8over.il years exclusively for nn exhibit of
the product ot this great car building com

it to nllbw the cars to remain idle longer.
Further progress In cur building is such
that In a few years more this trnln would
not reprcccnt the perfection in equipment
that it do * * today.
For the time being the train Is used for
excursion parties making n tour ot the
country. Three perfected baggage cars and
three ether handsome sleepers have been
ridded to Uis train. It left New York and
Philadelphia on Its first trip February 3 ,
loaded with a party of eastern people. The
itinerary of the Journey covered 0,509 , nnd

The only thing that will bo necessary In

The city council In committee of the
whole Monday afternoon In n slight degree
raised the apportionment of the general fund
among the various departments , which had
been settled upon a - eek tigo. The In
creases were ns follows. Engineer's depart
ment , from $10,800 to $12,500 $ , mnyor's office ,
$1.000 to1,500 ; building Inspector's depart
ment , $2,270 to $3,170 ; holler Inspector's de
partment , nn increase of $100. $
There was nlno n virtual Increase made
In the appropriation for the city comptrol
ler's ofllce. Although the fund for the
olllco was not raised , the city comptroller
was permitted to employ nn extra man to
4)0 ) paid out of the general fund. The In-
cienso in the apportionment in the bulld-
I Ing Inspector's olllco will cliubla the build
ing inspector to retain his assistant nnd toy
the increase in the size of his appropria-
* tlon tha mayor can rotaln his stenographer.
Stuht advocated the passage of an ordl-
i nance for the grading of Eleventh street
i from William street to Lincoln avenue , the
1 adjoining property to pay half the cost and
the city the other half , the cost to each
"being " $1,200. It was explained that Herman
Kountyc wanted to dump a lot of dirt from
his adjoining property Into the direct ,
thereby improving doth the street and Ills
property.
"If the grading of the street will benefit
this property so much , iwhy don't Mr.
Kounts-e pay for It ? " asked Councilman
liurkley. "Wo haven't $1,200 for this work
and , therefore , can't order It. "
It niiiln In TnlU.
The opportunity wna seized by other
councilman to take a shot at Stuht , because
of his recent energy to keep all sorts of
expenditures down. Lobeck also pointed out
that Kountzo has blocked the plan to open
North Thirteenth street , tbo latter saying
that he would accept whatever benefits the
city awarded him for his property and then
would sue the city.
'IMr. Kountzo favors any Improvements
th.it Tvill redound to his benefit , " said Lo-
beck , "but ns the opening- North Thir
teenth street will not bring him financial
rcturnh ho opposed It , although all the
manufacturers In the north bottoms are
very nn\ious to have the thoroughfare
opened "
No definite action was taken at the con
clusion of a lengthy discussion , the matter
being laid over for a week.
Following a resolution Introduced by Blng-
ham last iveek , the city engineer -was in
structed to draw up an ordlnanca for the
grading of Eighteenth street from Williams
to Lincoln avenue , the olty to pay one-hnlf
the ooat , although Burkley again pointed
out Uiat no money IB available for the work.
The southsldo councllmcn thought they
could make some deal with the property
owners to save the city Ilia cost. They said
thnt a portion of Eighteenth street Is only
sixty-six feet wide and another portion
eighty feet wldo and believed that It should
bo narrowed to the former width along Its
entire length. By In some way selling the
extra fourteen foot of the street to adjoin
ing property owners It WHS thought that
money to pay for the entire grading could
bo rnlsed.
Settle the Jnll FlitmblnK- .
The resignation ot Assistant City Engi
neer Stenger , which dins not been noted upon
nlthough it iwag presented bovornl weeks
ngo , v\as \ finally nocepted , despite a rather
hnlf-hoarted opposition from Stuht. The
latter cald that Stonier had resigned , ac
cording to his own statement , because he
refused to take a hand against the council
In the accusations mndo by City Engineer
Roflowater. If nnother aselstaut engineer
were appointed Stuht wanted Stonser re
tained. He asserted Uiat the appropriation
for the engineering department does not
provide for nn assistant engineer. Stuhti
agreed to ncocpt tne resignation on condi
tion no ftucceesor to Stengor be appointed.
The final estimate of Plumber Fltzpatrlek
for plunVblng the city Jail , amounting to
some $3,800 , was allowed , but the council
did not recognl/o tlie $1,100 bill for extras ,
which the Board of Public Worka has dis
allowed nnd over whloh Fltzpatrlek haa
commenced legal proceedings in tha courts.

with tha current month , the date mentioned
H most available for turning over the offlco
to a new incumbent. So far the new
surveyor has given no definite Indication
In regard to the minor positions , but It IB
understood thnt the force will foe pretty

The appointment of Joseph Crow as post
master occnslons no surprise In federal

The Impression Is that the new postmnster

WARM WEATHER IS COMING
Cunilltliinn Pnv iirnhlc for
Like Toiupcrntiirc
The plensnnt weather that Omnhn enjoys
Is very general through the west and the
mountain region It Is slightly colder lu
the east nnd decidedly warmer In the south.
There nro very light snows In the extreme
northwest , but elsewihere a clear sky pre
vails. Continued fnlr nnd warm weather Is
forecasted.
People who got out Sunday morning nnd
shoveled four feet of snow from their side
walks will bo surprised to learn thnt the
total snow fall was only 12 Inches But
that Is the fuel , ns recoided by the Instru
ments nt the weather bureau. The apparent
heavy fall was duo to the tendency to drift ,
which pllsd the snow up in wpots and gave
tha Impression that there was twice as
much of it ns nctunlly fell. The heaviest
snow wns In Omaha and east of tin- Missis
sippi river , while the agricultural dlstrli ts
further west obtained only n moderate fall.
